This document discusses the need to communicate accurate data and insights about global trends to overcome preconceived ideas. It notes that dramatic social and economic changes have occurred in Asia that are often underestimated. The concept of "developing" countries is also becoming outdated as gaps between rich and poor are less clear. While data has limitations, it highlights that inequality is greater than often thought, with the richest 20% of the world taking 74% of annual income while the poorest 20% take only 2%. The document ends by calling for better search functions and accessibility of global data.
